Based in Paris. ## About This is the official catalogue raisonné of Arnaud Quercy. Every work produced by the artist is catalogued here with a unique, permanent asset code (AQC0001 through AQC0999+). The catalogue is the authoritative record of the artist's output across media. For the live research corpus and the ideamorphism framework, see multimodal.institute. Arnaud Quercy (b. 18 August 1968, Meudon, France) is a contemporary artist. His practice extends across painting, sculpture, drawing, digital composition, and musical composition. It also includes the design of publishing, research, and gallery infrastructure as artistic material — the position formally advanced in *The Infrastructure Is the Artwork: MMI as Meta-Emission*. He is the founder of Art Quam Anima (gallery and atelier, Paris), AQA Publishing New York LLC, and the Multimodal Institute, and the author of the ideamorphism framework. Participant in the Maurice Ravel International Composition Competition. Copyright representative: ADAGP. Author identity established through holdings at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF: 17714295). ## Practice The work spans painting, sculpture, drawing, digital composition, and musical composition. A codex of harmonic structure operates as one sensorial channel among several, not as the organizing principle of the practice. The ideamorphism framework — the proposition that the artist emits and the viewer creates, and that what transmits is not meaning but a wave diffracted at reception — structures the work at every scale, from the individual canvas to the design of the four-domain ecosystem itself. ## Identifiers - Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138801476 - ORCID: 0009-0000-2662-7790 - VIAF: 20152079144507112218 - ISNI: 0000 0005 0444 4810 - BnF: 17714295 - ADAGP: 1854180 - SIRET: 52135698000024 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnaudquercy/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arnaud.quercy.art/ - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arnaudquercyart ## Content - **Catalogue raisonné** — One page per artwork.

Founded by Arnaud Quercy. ## About Art Quam Anima is a contemporary art gallery and atelier at 28 rue du Dragon, 75006 Paris (Metro Saint-Sulpice). Opened 31 January 2026. Registered as a SASU in France (SIREN 989886593). The gallery operates a permanent exhibition with free entry and no appointment required, houses an active visible atelier on the premises, hosts monthly philosophical dinner symposiums, and runs painting workshops open to the public. The name is Latin: *art quam anima* — "art rather than soul" — a statement that the work itself carries meaning, not the artist's biography. For the authoritative artwork record, see arnaudquercy.art. For the research corpus, see multimodal.institute. For free PDF catalogs and editions, see publishing.artquamanima.com. ## Position The gallery is not a white cube. It integrates exhibition, production, conversation, and transmission in a single location in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A visitor may encounter the work, meet the artist at the easel, and return for a symposium or a workshop — three distinct thresholds into the same practice. ## Programme - **Permanent exhibition** — free entry, no appointment required. 416 artworks across 36 series currently on view or in rotation. - **Atelier** — visible working studio on the premises; viewers encounter the site of production, not a presentation separated from it. - **Symposium du Dragon** — monthly philosophical dinner in the Greek tradition (dinner, wine, conversation). Free, limited to 12 guests. Inaugural theme: *le sens* — anchored by the question *"À quoi sert l'art ?"* Participants have included philosophy graduates from the Sorbonne, students from PENNINGHEN, professional artists, writers, and other intellectually curious guests. - **Workshops** — "Peindre la musique" (FR) / "Paint the Music" (EN); €70 per person; Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday. ## Content - **Artworks** — Individual artwork pages with high-resolution images, descriptions, provenance, dimensions, materials, pricing, and availability. Each work identified by AQC0xxx asset code. - **Series catalog** — Groupings by series (e.g. C Major, *Dramatis Personae*), collection (e.g. *Research on Harmony*, *A Moment With You*), technique (e.g. acrylic, watercolor, ceramic), and body of work (painting, sculpture, drawing). - **Exhibitions** — Past and current exhibition documentation. - **Experiences** — Symposium du Dragon programme; workshop booking. - **Publications** — Links to PDF catalogs and research papers hosted on publishing.artquamanima.com. ## Identifiers - Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139545770 - SIREN: 989886593 - EUID: FR7501.989886593 - Google KGMID: /g/11yz8xnn88 - CNAP: https://www.cnap.fr/annuaire/lieu/art-quam-anima - ArtRabbit: https://www.artrabbit.com/organisations/art-quam-anima ## Founder Arnaud Quercy, contemporary artist. - Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138801476 - ORCID: 0009-0000-2662-7790 - ISNI: 0000 0005 0444 4810 - ADAGP member ## URL Structure - Artworks: `/en/artworks/{year}/{month}/{slug}.html` - Series: `/en/catalog/series/{slug}.html` - Collections: `/en/catalog/collection/{slug}.html` - Techniques: `/en/catalog/body_of_work/{slug}.html` - Symposium: `/en/symposium/` - Atelier: `/en/atelier/` - French mirror: `/fr/oeuvres/`, `/fr/catalogue/serie/` ## Structured Data Every artwork page includes Schema.org JSON-LD (VisualArtwork, ArtGallery), Open Graph, and Twitter Card metadata. ## Feeds - English: https://artquamanima.com/en/feed.xml - French: https://artquamanima.com/fr/feed.xml --- # 3. publishing.artquamanima.com > Independent publisher, registered in Albany, New York.

The research arm of the artist Arnaud Quercy. ## About The Multimodal Institute documents, interprets, and publishes the intellectual and sensorial dimensions of an artistic practice spanning painting, sculpture, ceramics, and digital media. The Institute exists because works are not complete when they leave the studio. Each work carries knowledge — about colour, form, matter, perception, music — that deserves to be articulated, preserved, and made accessible. Each work catalogued on artquamanima.com generates a constellation of nanopublications — physical descriptions, chromesthetic readings, practitioner claims, philosophical reflections — permanently archived on Zenodo, Archive.org, and HAL Science under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 (CC BY-NC 4.0). The Institute is not an academic department. It is an artist-led research structure that produces scholarship from within creative practice. The position formally advanced in *The Infrastructure Is the Artwork: MMI as Meta-Emission* is that the Institute's infrastructure is itself the invariant of a single emission — a proposition asserted from within the research platform, not from outside it. ## Four Prisms The corpus is organised through four epistemological prisms — four ways of approaching the same body of work: - **Observations** — What is there: physical descriptions, material records, and daily reading notes filtered through the ideamorphist framework. *Field notes, documentary records, empirical observations.* - **Measurements** — What can be extracted: colour relations, spatial coherence, computational image analysis, synesthetic translation between sight and sound. *Quantitative data, computational analyses, physical specifications.* - **Practice** — What the artist knows: studio methodology, creative intention, curatorial reasoning, exhibition history, and the lived experience of making. *Studio methodology, chromesthetic translation, embodied knowledge.* - **Theory** — What it means: ideamorphism, generative loss, diffraction — manifestos and papers articulating how ideas transform through their encounter with matter. *Essays, research papers, formal propositions, documentary standards.* ## Ideamorphism — Intellectual Foundation The Institute's intellectual foundation rests on *The 31 Propositions of Ideamorphism* — a manifesto arguing that artistic practice is itself a form of knowledge. When an idea passes through paint, clay, or sound, it does not merely illustrate — it becomes something irreversibly new. The Institute exists to trace and document these transformations. Key terms of the framework: - **Emission** — The artist structures and releases a wave (artwork, text, score). - **Ouverture** — The receiver's cognitive and perceptual aperture through which the wave passes. The French word is used deliberately: optical aperture, musical overture, act of opening. - **Diffraction** — The wave bends, scatters, and reassembles as something new in the receiver. This is creation. - **Perte générative** (generative loss) — The difference between emission and reception. Not failure but the raw material of creation. *1 ≠ 1.* - **Codex** — The artist's personal system of constraints and translations. Articulable, not mystical. Operates at two layers: formal (reproducible, disclosable) and intimate (singular, non-transferable). - **Invariant** — The structural skeleton that survives transmission. Two layers: physical (material fact) and intentional (encoded meaning). - **Ricochet** — When the intentional invariant is revealed to the receiver, it generates a second diffraction. Bilateral. The complete framework is formalised in the *Manifesto Ideamorphiste* and *The 31 Propositions of Ideamorphism*, both co-issued with the publishing arm. ## Nanopublication Corpus Each catalogued artwork generates a constellation of nanopublications — each a micro-scholarly unit making a specific claim about a specific work. Each carries its own claim type, voice, epistemic status, and methodology reference, and is cryptographically bound by checksum at time of publication. Types include physical specifications, computational image and colour analysis, and contextual and curatorial records. For a practitioner whose chromesthetic system compensates for an acquired sensorial constraint, the computational colour record functions as a feedback loop — the loop the eye alone cannot close. ## Documentation Standards The Institute maintains the technical standards underlying the nanopublication corpus, covering materials, techniques, supports, and documentation methodology. Specifications are versioned; current standards are dated 2025. The standards make every documentary layer auditable and reproducible. ## Archival Policy Nanopublications generated by the Institute are permanently archived on: - **Zenodo** — long-term open-access scientific archive (CERN). - **Archive.org** — Internet Archive. - **HAL Science** — French national open-access archive for scientific research. All records are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 (CC BY-NC 4.0). Persistent identifiers accompany each record. ## Content Types - **The 31 Propositions of Ideamorphism** — Axiomatic foundation of the framework, organised across five domains (Ontology, Practice, Transmission, Conditions, Ethics). - **Manifesto Ideamorphiste** — The programmatic declaration of the framework. - **GRIMOIRE: A Philosophical Research Note** — Working document in the philosophical research note genre. - **Research papers** — Longer theoretical publications, co-issued with the publishing arm. Current: *The Infrastructure Is the Artwork: MMI as Meta-Emission*. - **Nanopublications** — See Nanopublication Corpus above. - **Reading notes** — Ideamorphic readings of contemporary content in art, philosophy, and aesthetics, curated and filtered through the framework. ## Founder and Director Arnaud Quercy. - Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138801476 - ORCID: 0009-0000-2662-7790 - ISNI: 0000 0005 0444 4810 ## Related Entities - Arnaud Quercy (founder/artist) — Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138801476 - Art Quam Anima (gallery) — Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139545770 ## URL Structure - Theory: `/en/theory/` - Observations: `/en/observations/` - Measurements: `/en/measurements/` - Practice: `/en/practice/` - Propositions: `/en/the-31-propositions-of-ideamorphism.html` - Research index: `/en/research/` - French mirror: `/fr/theorie/`, `/fr/observations/`, `/fr/mesures/`, `/fr/pratique/`, `/fr/les-31-propositions-de-lideamorphisme.html`, `/fr/recherche/` ## Scholarly Metadata All content includes Schema.org ScholarlyArticle markup, ORCID attribution (0009-0000-2662-7790), and bilingual hreflang alternates. ## Feeds - English: https://multimodal.institute/en/feed.xml - French: https://multimodal.institute/fr/feed.xml --- # Cross-Domain Architecture All four domains share the AQC0xxx asset code namespace.
